is a measurement of how much power a speaker can handle. If you crank up the volume you can destroy the coil. Keep the power down and they'll be OK.
Hi. Just wondering what would happen if I plugged 2 speakers into a powersupply unit that was built for more powerful speakers?
My current unit which is a 450w stereo system is getting old, and I've got 1 blown speaker. I got 2 speakers from another stereo which wasn't used to much, they are weaker than the origional 450w so I was going to plug those speakers into the original power supply. Wondering if its a good idea or if it'll blow up on me.
